HOW WE LEARN

GROWTH LEVELS

Every student at Verdi EcoSchool belongs to a Growth Level: a closely knit, mixed-age group of students who meet together twice each day. These meetings: Intention circle in the morning and Reflection circle in the afternoon offer students the opportunity to build close connections while working toward mastery of the personal success skills in Verdi EcoSchool's Learning Framework. Students regularly refer back to the following statements to assess their own growth and provide evidence of their personal learning journey.
